How would I execute said Javascript using LWP::?* You wouldn't. That's why I'm suggesting that you reverse engineer what's doing on in the page. Once you understand what the Javascript detection mechanism is, you can work around it (via some clever regexs, or whatever) without having to simulate Javascript execution.	[reply]

You can't. HTML is parsed, Javascript is executed. LWP does not contain any Javascript engine that I'm aware of. You might try using pavuk though, which does support Javascript, IIRC.	[reply]

Not with LWP. But you can with JavaScript. OTOH if this cookie setting bit is the problem you'd be better off just parsing the JavaScript in your code; you don't actually want to execute JavaScript, just emulate it's results. `-- perl -pew "s/\b;([mnst])/'$1/g"`	[reply]
